What does having the Moon in Sagittarius mean for your behaviour, your work life and your relationships?
We are diving right in but remember accurate astrology requires a look at the whole chart – the moon is only one important part of it.
Personality:
Moon in Sagittarius, you have a bright, fun-loving and inspirational moon which brings life to the party. You have a strong instinct towards freedom and are not likely to stay stuck in the same place for long.
When the going gets tough, the Sagg gets going – so be careful that your instincts don’t drive you to just escape from all situations that seem heavy. Sometimes we need to go through them to get to the other side, establishing a stronger foundation that helps us to move forward in life.
However, that love of movement and exploration will take you places. You may have the desire to travel the world and connect with diverse cultures and ways of living in the world. You might have little hesitation relocating and starting a life in a new country. It is worth reflecting on whether the instinct to pack up and move is really the best thing at a deeper level before jumping headlong into it.
Use that innate draw towards the philosophical side of life to cultivate stoic strength. Your emotions are quite changeable from day to day so developing a religious, spiritual or reflective side to your life will help to regulate emotions. Answering the call to the spirit of adventure can also help to refresh your senses and deal with any heavy emotional baggage you are carrying. In its most mundane expression it could mean just making sure you get out to do sports on a regular basis.
There is a danger of dogmatism with this moon as you may have a tendency to fall back on your beliefs or find solace in the feeling of ‘knowing-it-all’ when you feel insecure. You need to remember the world is not black and white, there are a lot of grey areas in between.
You do have a great capacity for cultivating knowledge and perspective in life but humility is an essential ingredient to avoid hubris and motivate one towards a more genuine wisdom. Remember, we all have our blindspots and being open to truly considering contrary opinions to your own can do wonders for your insight, intuition and sense of security in the world.
At Work
On the whole you are adaptable and can thrive in many environments and deal equally well with working on your own or with others. You can provide creative inspiration for projects and in general give a wide-angle perspective on situations. This capacity for creativity also comes with the potential towards distraction so you may prefer projects that are short to mid term, relying on people of a more fixed nature to keep a longer term goal on track.
Don’t get frustrated or disappointed when quick and simple solutions don’t always work or a project takes longer than expected.
There is some potential for conflicts in the workplace if you feel others contradicting what you dictate as the way to handle something. Generally you have the sense that you know you are right, and often you are, but recognise the scope for you being mistaken and also understand that sometimes others just have to go through making their own mistakes in order to learn and grow. Showing patience will get you far!
Your love of movement and adventure means that routine-based and mundane jobs probably won’t be your cup of tea. A job that gets you out and about in the world, through travel to other countries or engaging with people from different cultures, will be more appealing. You feel at home taking people out on excursions, hiking up mountains or helping them out at the gym. Space is the final frontier and for a small number of people, space exploration may be your dream. Neil Armstrong had his moon in Sagittarius!
Sitting at an office all day might have you feeling somewhat stifled but this can be mitigated if the subject matter you are dealing with is in harmony with higher ideals. You could be involved with professions that relate to knowledge, so academia but mostly likely lecturing and teaching could be one of the professions that can allow you to find your thirst for exploration satisfied more inwardly.
Jupiter, Sagittarius’ ruling planet is also connected to the practice of law, so this could be another field where you excel. On the other hand, it could also mean you are assisting people with their adventures in the tourism industry, whether booking holidays or guiding people around the places you love.
Creative professions can also be something to look into, public speaking, publishing and advertising could all be areas where your skills can be put to good use. Your love for the adventure of life could have you guiding others into how to make their life the adventure you know it could be.
In Relationships:
Sagittarius, you want your relationships to be fun and meaningful at the same time. You love the sparks that fly at the beginning of a romantic encounter and this enthusiasm and joy is likely inspiring for your partner. The downside to this is you might get too attached to the first exciting phase of a connection. You could begin to wonder what you’re doing in the relationship when things slow down and it enters the world of routine and predictability.
Remember the inevitability of relationships maturing and growing out of the initial stages of exploring a new person, there is a risk of entering patterns of short relationships, chasing the initial excitement. To counter this it is good to have a partner that enjoys an adventure as much as you do. Shared experiences of travel, sports or anything that brings a sense of new experience, can help to rejuvenate what might feel like stagnancy in the relationship.
You need a non-intrusive companion on the journey of life. One that will leave you a lot of space.Someone who you can enjoy the jovial side of life with you. Your strong instinct towards freedom can also be tricky to manage in relationships at times. Having a partner with a secure sense of self-worth and explaining to them clearly how important this freedom is, and how you would like that freedom to be expressed in your life, can help you and your partner to find mutual independence with reciprocity. This assures personal growth without adding unnecessary strains on the relationship.
There could be a tendency to dictate how things should be done. Something you will likely have to work on is accepting to do what others tell you to. Like many of the fire signs there can be a sense of ‘my way or the highway’. Although this can bring a healthy sense of self-direction and assertiveness, be careful it doesn’t fall into an extreme where you don’t give due consideration to the opinion or petition of your partner. The real value of a relationship is in the differences of opinion which help to augment and expand our own, oftentimes limited, vision of the world and how to best navigate it.
You’ve got a lot to give and share. Your wisdom, insight and broad life experiences can be a wonderful contribution to the life of your partner. Don’t let that become a blindfold to seeing the various ways that their wisdom and insight can further enrich and refine the adventure of your life.
We hope that these reflections on the Moon in Sagittarius will help you along your journey. Stay adventurous, stay inspired and see you soon.
